Coming soon
My name is Shirwa Ali. I am a psychologist born in Somalia but raised here. I am passionate about helping others especially those who grew up in a similar reality. I am committed to helping people navigate their mental and emotional challenges using evidence based practices. I firmly believe that every person deserves a safe and supportive environment to explore their inner world and develop strategies for personal growth and healing. My goal is to walk with you on your journey with compassion, empathy and non-judgment.
Whether we believe it or not, our lived experiences have created a core belief about ourselves and influences a core language we use to describe ourselves, which prevents us from being our authentic self or the desire to change. Here’s a truth, you have permission. You have the permission to change, to grow, to develop, to advocate for what you need, create new habits and, to unlearn and learn again. The beauty in the journey is you don’t have to do it alone and I’m here to journey with you.
I believe that you know your story best. Utilizing modalities such as CBT, Solution focused and Narrative therapy to support you bringing meaning to your lived experiences. I support individuals with navigating through life transitions, anxiety, depression, emotional regulation, spirituality, trauma and more.
It is my desire to hold space for you in the therapeutic relationship and that you feel heard, validated, affirmed and at times challenged all in a joint effort to get you where you want to be holistically.
